I'm all ready for church but still have an hour before I have to leave. Dad is listening to a Luth. Church Service on Erie T.V. His head really bothers him but guess there isn't much help for it.
We've had a few nice days but they are few & far between. Hard to do much outside work. With our weather it'll be August before they start work on the house.
Barb got an unfinished dresser, put it together herself, finished it with - can't remember & can't find the can. Just to seal the wood - no stain. Looks nice. So yesterday we moved the3 old dresser into the little room first we housecleaned it. And the little room looks so much nicer. Put 1 file drawer or whatever in our room & one in the basement. So the basement is "junky" & things needed to be gotten rid of. (I know never end a sentence with a preposition.)
Barb received your birthday gift & I hope she writes her own thank you.
We received a notice from Chrysler Corp. to have the lock changed on the rear door of the van so Dale will do that for us.
Last Mon. our kitchen rug was cleaned so I washed the walls, etc. in the eating area & where the micro. & book cases are. Gradually I'm getting things cleaned, altho the house doesn't get that dirty.
Finished Charade by Sandra Brown & really enjoyed it - a bit crude at times but a good plot. Very different from the last one I read by her - it was set in Texas & also very good. Also enjoy Marion Chesney book on Regency England. They are short & easily read in an evening.
I'm sending a pkg. for the boys. KMart had Goosebump Tshirts on sale &* I got 2 for Andy & a top & shorts for Eddie. Hope the sizes are O.K. Suppose to rain Mon & Tues. so maybe the pkg won't get out til Wed. Just what we need more rain.
Eva Terry has an April birthday & will be 85 so this aft. her son Dick is having cake & ice cream for friends in her circle, birthday club, etc. so I'll be going. She is in the Central (Ave) Nursing Home. From 2-3:30. Will miss some of the Mets vs. Pittsburgh Pirates. Listened on the radio last nite - Mets won so it was a good game! Fri. nite it was on T.V. & they lost. Hope they can win 2 in a row. Pitching hasn't caught on yet. Milwaukee is doing O.K. JoAnna did you get to see the opening game this yeare. Soon time for church.
Mon.
It's raining so the letter won't get mailed yet.
In our room I have a small file box & now that we have Dad's file in our bedroom, I cleaned out mine & put things in the big file. I had a lot of laughs looking at old pictures, school work, report cards & found a note you wrote to us when you wanted permission to go to an all nite drive in with Mardi, Mike & Renee. You listed all the things you did - made your bed, cleaned up your dishes (you must have been working U& ate later), the stove & sink. You even put 15.00 in your bank account so you'd have money for college entrant letters. Do you remember. Someday you'll fine it & read it & remember "the gold old days". Did you get to go - I can't recall! Barb got a kick out of a Mother's day card from 3rd grade she made for me. So I did keep a few things.
Mon the 22nd Jim & Alice Greenland were in an accident - Alice driving. Sat. Jim died as a result of it - he also had a bad heart. Funeral is tomorrow Tues at 11 A.M. at church. I'll go. Dad left real bad when he heard the news. Jim was 722 @ we lot a good member of the church.

Nice to get your letter. Thanks JoAnna for having Paul write.
Finally we've seen a little blue sky & sunshine after a long spell of clouds & rain. Last Fri. they thot the pool at the top of the Dam that supplies electricity to Cleveland had a crack & they expected a sheet of water to come down. It turned out to be a false alarm - a sensor was faulty & triggered the alarm - caused by excessive rains.
Lar was saying they are thinking of having a dinner at the Holiday Inn after the reception. For the wedding party & out of town relatives. I hope those plans work out. Her aunt, who is a waitress at H.I. is looking into it.
Last weekend Kim was housesitting & she was thru earlier than expected so she called here to see if she could locate Lar. Said she had washing to do, etc. So Mon nite I asked Lar if Kim got her washing done (she was out with a girlfirend) & he said yes - at his place. So I asked him, kiddingly, if he charged her and he said no! I said how come as he has teased her & said she could wash at this place if she paid him - he replied she is living with me now to save rent. It happened the 1st of Sept. Somehow I always seem to find out what's going on & this is all innocence.
I got my autographed Gary Carter baseball card. His mother died in '66 of M.S. & that is the reason he is doing this - to make money for M.S. research, etc.
Guess what Dad got from the Nat. G.O.P. party - a picture of our pres. & wife - Ron & Nancy. Tho't I might send it to JoAnna - Ha, Ha - but maybe Paul would use it for dart practice.
We called Beloit today & talked to Svea. She sounds good & is doing well. It takes time. Roger comes on Wed. & she is happy.
Last Fri. we bought a rug for the Den - a gray textured & it will be installed this week. We should be getting our new love seat soon. Should be in Oct. 7th.
Play offs this week & I hope the Mets can do it. They are really beating the Pirates this aft.
A busy week ahead. L.C.W. Mon. nite. Tues. our day out. Wed. we meet Hollertzs for dinner - we go to Ridgway - Thurs. a retirement party for Sara Lyle who retired last summer - out for fish Fri & Sat nite Alice & Jim Greenlund invited us for dinner. Will miss some ball games but we can tape them.
We noticed a restaurant The Grainery advertised in the Jamestown paper 6 mi. E. of Sinclairville across from Cockaigne ski area & it sounds interesting. Today they advertised Seafood Royale consisting of crabmeat, scallops & shrimp, broiled with a wine & caper sauce. Includes salad or soup, potatoes, veggie & a selection of home baked rolls & muffins. $11.50. But dinners start at $7.25. We plan to try it sometime.
Dale asked to work 6 days a week & he is allowed to & Schultz needs the help so that is good for Dale. Adelaide W. told me today that their truck needed a muffler & Dale did the job & Bill said he knows what he is doing. Good he knows his job or maybe Schultz would have let him go.
We might take a walk so I'll bring this to a close. Did Pat get the directorship. How come Oshkosh L. is having such a turnover. We watched Wis. v. Mich. a little while last nite but turned to The Golden Girls at 9 pm. They were more interesting.

It's a snowy afternoon so I'll type a letter and hope to remember a number of things I want to say.
Mon. nite was LCW and Robert Silzie showed slides of oldtime Wrrn. and he used 2 screens and showed the sight today. Very interesting. He also passed out sheets with interesting facts of Wrrn. and I'm sending one to you.
Today we were at First Meth. for the Lenten noonday service. Ate lunch with Vi Lilja, Arlene H., and Eva Terry. The subject of St. Paul pastor came up and Arlene, who is outspoken, said she hoped he didn't stay 23 years. No one else said anything but you could read their thoughts by the silence. He isn't too well liked and it is too bad as it is a good situation but he doesn't call and isn't the least big friendly. It's sad as we have such a good group of people.
Denny [high school classmate] and Brenda Brader are moving to Fla. They left yesterday with a load of things. Brenda has a job but Denny will have to find one. He will be back as they haven't sold their home yet. Bill and Gen aren't too happy but Bill will teach the girls the insurance business as he will have to have help and wants to keep it in the family. Bill said he'd keep the job open for Denny a year.
Last Fri. we went to Erie and found some good bargains. Dad got a nice wool sports jacket for 39.00 and it looks nice on him. I found a dress and 3 blouses. 2 are summer blouses to wear with suits and slacks.
Last Sat. nite Myrt and Jer Wallin, Alice and Jim Greenlund and Joyce came to supper. First we had juice and crackers and a relish tray in the living room. I used the tray you gave me and had dip in the center dish. After dinner we played UNO around the dining room table and had more fun.
This weekend Dad goes to Dagus Mines but I won't go with him as a group is coming in from Alberta, Can. They have been touring the US and will have charge of the Sun. a.m. service. Housing is needed and people weren't responding so I asked Dad if he would go alone to Dagus and then we could have a couple of the young people overnite. He agreed and they will be here for supper Sat. nite and for breakfast and there will be a potluck after church. Should be interesting but Dale said he'd have to make arrangements to be away. That's my kids.
Got the announcement from Ft. Worth announcing the birth of a daughter to Michelle and her husband. And in the r.r. [round robin] June said that Curt and his wife are expecting a 2nd child in June.
Joyce O'Connor got a new Mercury Topaz and it is nice. She also sold the apt. on the corner of 5th and Conewango. She is glad to be rid of that.
Some of the tiles above the tub surround were coming loose from the moisture so Dad is replacing them with a sheet of tile. Couldn't match the gray but this is a blue and white and blends nicely with the blue tub surround and you don't really notice that it is different from the gray tile. We are all fine. How are plans coming.
Monday P.S.
A brief note & then we'll mail your letter.
The youth group from Canada had the Sun. A.M. service & they were great. Good group in church, too. 2 boys stayed with us. One from B.C. & the other from Edmonton, Alb. He shops at that big Mall there - we've seen it on T.V. They made themselves at home - did a load of clothes; soaked in the tub; in stocking feet. They loved the dinner & homemade rolls.
A pot luck after church & a good group out for that. They are in the Pittsburgh area today - will go to N.Y. & Maine. Left last Sept. & be back in Can. in June. They said in N. Dak. & Minn. they were served sloppy joes for about 2 months. The church wouldn't mind entertaining a similar group sometime again. They really had the electronic equipment.
It's warming up finally. My washing is done. Dad is washing the car & then we'll go out for lunch & get groceries. Tomorrow A.M. I have a dental appt. & that's the A.M. we get groceries.

Just a brief note to tell you how pleasantly surprised we were when we turned the page Tues, the 25th & saw the announcement of your engagement. It's a lovely picture. Yesterday was the senior group at church & many favorable comments came our way. And I'm sure we'll hear more tonite at Lenten Midweek. At the mtg. Tues the Nazarene pastor spoke of his travels to U.S.S.R. So very interesting - we prefer a speaker to slides.
Last Sun. we had company for dinner - Mel, Levina & Loren Bohman. We had a nice time visiting. This Sat nite company again as Dad doesn't preach the 1st Sun. Alice & Jim Greenlund, Myrt & Jer Wallin & Joyce O'Connor. We'll eat early so we can play games. We have fun.
Back to Loren - he is an '80 grad of Augustana & his grandfather was a pastor. He spent 6 weeks in Sweden & goes to Jamestown to be with the Swedish folk dancing group. (I'll get it after awhile.) [Some crossouts in this paragraph.]
Lar was sick last week - sore throat, ache, & it went into his chest. When he called on Sat. he sounded terrible. I sent a meal over with Kim. He is better now. Kim had the flu but a different kind & Dale's was still different. Dad & I (knock on wood) haven't been sick & hope we stay healthy. Lent is too busy a time to get sick.
Have to go grocery shopping & this is just a note.
How's the apt. or house hunting?
